CAIRO, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The Syrian delegation at a Non-Aligned Movement summit walked out during a speech on Thursday by Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi, who described the Syrian government as "oppressive", Al Jazeera television reported.

The Arabic satellite channel did not give further details in its brief headline and it was not immediately clear if the delegation returned after Mursi's speech finished.
